Going after the bloggers

Gotta love an entrepreneur. Normally I do--small business fuels America. I'm making an exception for this guy though.

Steve Gibson has a new business plan. He has started a company that is buying newspaper copyrights with the sole intention of suing bloggers who use the material.

What was it Nancy Pelosi said about Health Care? We'll go around, go through, pole-vault over? Until the regime can get Net Neutrality and/or an Internet Kill Switch, this guy is doing their dirty work. Way to go Steve.

  1. Hi Kristin,

    I saw this too, I believe he is a lawyer (go figure) and started with movie/song downloads.

    I really see this as a larger problem for the left in the blogging world being there are more left in the print media.

    Simple to go around if wishing to attack a lib article, just link to it but write about it at free will.

    Then again time will tell, just my take.

  3. And now women that have had abortions in the past can now sue the clinic. We can all play that game. Don't forget to tell all your friends about that cash cow as well.

  4. I see the guy is looking to feel if he still has his family jewels. Nope Steve, none of you Libs have them.

  6. I don't think this guy is doing it on behalf of extinguishing free speech. I think he is another 'ambulance chaser'— trying to make a buck off an ugly loophole.

  9. I think he'll be a failure. But just another example of the piece-of-crap, John Edwards, ambulance-chasing, Plaintiff's bar. Look for a scam rather than going to work for something that adds value to the Republic.

  10. This is proof we have far too many lawyers for the good of society and I'm reminded of the old but dreamed of joke and that goes like this...

    "what do you call 2000 attorney's at the bottom of the seas? A damn good start"....

  11. I was thinking 99% of lawyers make the other 1% look bad.

  12. I had heard about this a few days ago. The more I think about it, the more I think that it might be a lefty plan. They punish dissent, and they're certainly not above enriching themselves while promoting a scheme (Al Gore). So, you never know.

  13. used to be, you used information gathered by others amd if it's public, you can use it too, no problem...not public, you need to notate the source, still no problem....copyrighted, a problem (welcome government intervention)...

    FREE SPEECH IS TOTALLY AT RISK.

    let me see.....you blog a topic and he copyrights it without your consent....so now it belongs to whom????

    what a deal!!!#@?$!

    perhaps bloggers need to have an official legal statement that says "all writing, including responses, are owned by the blogger and/or his/her followers, without exception".....
